What is the song played in the _Mad Men_ episode “The Grownups” (during the first dance at the wedding of Roger Sterling’s daughter Margaret)? I believe it’s the same song played in _The Aviator_, when Hughes takes Katherine Hepburn for a ride on a plane and lets her take the controls while he grabs a bottle of milk. A slow jazz instrumental, with a clarinet or oboe playing lead. ---

Yup, Moon Glow is listed in the soundtracks for both. > **[The Aviator (2004) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338751/soundtrack/)** > > The Aviator (2004) SoundTracks on IMDb: Memorable quotes and exchanges from movies, TV series and more... > **["Mad Men" The Grown-Ups (TV Episode 2009) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1484251/soundtrack/)** > > "Mad Men" The Grown-Ups (TV Episode 2009) SoundTracks on IMDb: Memorable quotes and exchanges from movies, TV series and more... ---

I am forever looking for songs that I hear in TV episodes. I find [Tunefind](https://www.tunefind.com/show/mad-men/season-3/11253) works really well because it often, as in this case, tells you in which scene the music was played. Very handy when you are looking for one of 10 songs in an episode of something. ---

Still haven’t been able to find the name of the song or artist that played at the end of the season finale for season one of the new The Equalizer. Tunefind is saying that it’s The Beginning of the End by Valerie Broussard and Klergy, but while the tune sounds similar, the words are completely different. Nine months and counting.
